Spring Back to Vail - World Pond Skimming Championships

When: 04/14/2013

The legendary World Pond Skimming Championships returns to Lake Golden Peak at Vail Mountain’s Golden Peak base area on April 14, 2013. The venue will open at 1:30pm with expos and giveaways from event sponsors, and the competition will get going at 3:00pm.

The annual competition entails floatable (and sometimes sinkable) athletes launching themselves off an on-snow jump onto an icy pond in attempt to successfully exit the pond on both feet. Competitors will vie for both fame and glory in a showing that defies the laws of physics – and perhaps even common sense. Registration is $75 and is limited to a field of 75 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.
